BROADWAY Celtic under-12s produced an amazing recovery against AFC Oldham in the Tameside Sunday League.

Trailing 4-1 with 20 minutes to go, they hit back to record a thrilling 5-4 victory.

Celtic’s scorers were Liam Allen, Tristan Jones (two) and Billy Slattery (two), who hit the equaliser and winner in a dramatic finish.


SPRINGHEAD under-14s powered their way into the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup with a 4-1 win over Hattersley.

The local outfit were denied time and again by the ’keeper, who was the busiest player on the pitch.

Springhead finally broke the deadlock through Connor Gooseman, but the Hattersley custodian continued to play a staring role for his side.

He was beaten again, though, by Jordan Mortimer, who added a third for Springhead.

Substitute Mohammed Najib’s superb half-volley made it four, before Hattersley scored a consolation.

ROSS Young (two), Joe Royal and Wesley Grant got the goals as Boundary Park Juniors under-13s ‘B’ overcame Failsworth Town 4-2.

Town replied through C Schofield and C Thorpe.

The under-16s brushed aside Dukinfield Town 9-2 — Andy Winterbottom (three), Danny Vickers (two), Kingston Sutherland (two), Mark Roberts and an own goal did the damage — and the under-19s, with Jermaine Steele (two), Adam Sutcliffe and Jonathon Hadfield on target, defeated Stalybridge Celtic 4-0.


ROCS FC under-15s’ interest in the Challenge Cup is over for another season.

They were beaten 3-1 on penalties by Manchester Maccabi after the second-round tie had ended 2-2.

David Clegg and Scott Reeves scored for ROCS.

FAILSWORTH Town under-14s reached round three of the Challenge Cup thanks to a 2-1 victory at home to Manchester Maccabi. K Kingsland and K Cook were on the mark.

The under-13s continued their quest for Challenge Cup glory with a 9-1 defeat of Boundary Park Juniors.
